Arc’teryx LEAF has produced a new, limited edition, giveaway-only, hat made from MultiCam Tweave. The first batch went to the Special Operations Care-Fund‘s luncheon last week to raise money to pay for hyperbaric treatments for wounded Veterans. I attended the function and purchased one of the hats in order to give it away on SSD.
Oftentimes companies come to us and ask which charities they should consider donating to. It’s a tough decision and we have a few favorites. But, we’d like to hear about your favorites. To win this hat, all you have to do is enter by telling us your favorite charity. It doesn’t even have to be a military charity.
SSD is hoping that you’ll consider donating to a charity or those in need this holiday season. Good luck!
To enter:
1. In the comments section of THIS article on SSD share your favorite charity. Only entries here are eligible to win.
2. Comments are open from 0900 EST today, November 18th until 0859 EST tomorrow, November 19th.
3. Use any alias you want to post but be sure to use a valid email address since that’s how we’ll contact the winner.
4. 1 winner will be selected at random.
5. One entry per email address. We will delete entries that violate this policy.
6. Must be 18 to enter. Void where prohibited.

Wounded Warrior is the Susan G. Komen of Veteran Charities. Way too little actually goes to veterans. A disproportionate majority of funds go to executive salaries and marketing. Please research before spending your hard earned money on organizations that don’t ensure the bulk of funds go to the intended source.

Wounded Warrior is my favorite charity!
Fisher House
The Snow Leopard Trust!
Help save the elusive big cat that resides in Afghanistan and elsewhere!
Fallen Heroes Trust
As much as I appreciate the Organizations that help my fellow service members, I have to vote for the Fisher House, but really any group that helps little kids struck with terrible maladies wins in my books. Just the thought of a child having to go thru chemo or burn treatments and other painful treatments, it just tears at the heart.

Hulphond. A Dutch organisation aimed at training dogs to assist in diverse diseases and needs. Not too long ago, they started a special project where their trained dogs are given to PTSS/PTSD-struck persons, like servicemen, acting as a buddy which helps dealing with everyday life and signalling disturbances in their owners’ behavior.
